DUCJFC 2016 - January 13 - I Love You

Thank you for all your comments on the cat's eyes yesterday. I ended up fiddling with them a little more and they're a little smaller now, but still there. When I put more stitches into it I'll post a photo so you can let me know what you think. Back to a new start today! I was RAK'd this awesome fabric by an unknown person and I absolutely love it! It's called Eye of Newt from Chromatic Alchemy. I was looking and looking for a Halloween project to stitch on it, and no luck. But then when I was cleaning up, I found this Jodyri pattern and realized this was what I was going to stitch on it and I was going to stitch it for DH. Floss toss:

It will eventually say "I love you more today than yesterday. Yesterday you really got on my nerves". I think this one will get finished this year. It's a pretty simple stitch. There's a row of Rhodes stitches between the words "yesterday" that I'm going to stitch in red. There's also a row at the top, but I might leave those out. I'll leave them to the end and see what I think. In a crazy world I might aim for Valentine's Day with this one, but not sure if that will happen.

Time to update my WIPs! I hope everyone has had a good weekend and had as much stitching time as they wished. We've had a busy time as DD turns 4 tomorrow. She seemed to have a blast this weekend, so that's what matters. I did get a little stitching done, although having a cold and a major migraine episode this week did slow me down a little.

There's a fair bit of confetti in the leaves of this one and I'd like to try and get the top done first, so I'm working more there first. I haven't done much with Fishing lately, but I hope to get that out this week. With luck I'll get them both finished up in a couple weeks. I haven't been able to do any of the No X November stitching that Theme-tas-stitch has set as the theme, but I have this one in mind for a friend.

She's a little Xmas obsessed, so I think she'll get a laugh out of this one. It's a free chart by Kincavel Krosses and you can find it here.

Okay, it's a silly alliteration, but it's late and all I could come up with. :)

I'm working away at Covered Bridge still. Did I mention I think trying to finish this one first is the best idea because Fishing has no beads or fiddly bits and I think it would be easier to stitch in the car, but beads and being a passenger probably don't work well together.

I have 2 more days of progress, Monday:

and Tuesday:

It's looking so good! I'm really happy with it, even with all the confetti. :) Fingers crossed I can get more done tonight and see where it's at before Monday. With luck there will be a finish!

I've been so excited lately when Friday rolls around because that means it's time for the next installment of the Lakeside Needlecraft SAL! There are lots of other reasons for Fridays to be exciting too though, I get almost every other Friday off, although it does mean I work that Saturday. Plus there's usually hockey every Friday night!

I hope you've all been having good weekends! My parents visited this past week, so I had slightly less stitching time, but I did manage to get a little more done on Covered Bridge:

There's lots to do yet, but it's getting there!

And then there was a little time to stitch on Friday after the Halloween party and I started on the next installment of the Lakeside Needlecraft SAL:

These were mostly new stitches to me and there were all fairly straightforward. I managed a little more stitching last night after Saturday hockey, which was a new group of people and fairly fast, and I only ended up with a few bruises. :)
